Chapter Index

    “No need, just keep an eye out for me.”

    Karon said to the deputy train conductor in a very rigid manner.

    “Alright.”

    The deputy train conductor didn’t say much more.

    Just then, the train’s lights, for some unknown reason, illuminated something, causing a silver reflection.

    Karon immediately widened his eyes and peered out. Under the strong light, he vaguely saw a creature resembling a blade.

    “What is that?!”

    Karon’s face changed drastically, and he instinctively reached for the brake button.

    Unfortunately, it was too late; the train’s speed was simply too fast.

    Bang!

    The blade-like mosquito instantly collided with the high-speed train.

    The larval form of the blade-like mosquito disintegrated instantly.

    Its sharp blade directly sliced open the entire front of the train, cutting Karon and the others into pieces, and blood splattered everywhere.

    Immediately after, the head of the high-speed train exploded.

    Bang!

    The train immediately triggered its emergency braking system.

    “Ah~”

    All the passengers in the carriage jolted violently, each letting out a cry of terror.

    The enormous inertia instantly sent Gu Meng directly crashing into Su Ming.

    Su Ming was also startled and quickly caught Gu Meng. Gu Meng’s cheek immediately hit his chest.

    The passengers in the carriage were sent sprawling.

    However, fortunately, it wasn’t long before the high-speed train gradually came to a stop under the action of the emergency braking system.

    “Ouch!”

    “It hurts so much, what the hell is going on?”

    “What happened? It’s so scary!”

    One by one, the terrified passengers climbed up from the floor.

    Su Ming’s chest also hurt from Gu Meng’s impact, but he still endured the pain and asked,

    “Are you alright?”

    Gu Meng, who hadn’t fully recovered yet, instantly sobered up when she heard Su Ming’s question.

    She realized she was pressed against Su Ming and immediately blushed, quickly getting up and saying,

    “I’m fine, thank you.”

    “It’s nothing.”

    Su Ming replied simply, then stood up from his seat and surveyed the surroundings with a serious expression.

    The train seemed to have hit something, as the carriage walls were somewhat deformed.

    He then leaned close to the sealed window and looked outside. The tunnel outside was very dim, with only the emergency lights on the side of the tunnel lit. Other than that, he couldn’t see anything special.

    Su Ming’s brow furrowed even tighter. For some reason, he had a very bad premonition.

    Gu Meng looked at Su Ming, whose brows were tightly furrowed, and her mind felt a little dazed for a moment.

    She carefully examined Su Ming’s appearance; he really looked good after losing weight.

    Moreover, he had a Three Cities household registration and was very generous, which indicated his family background was excellent. As for his talent, there was no need to mention it; being able to get into Royal Court Academy, he was simply a dragon among men, practically perfect.

    Most importantly, when she crashed into Su Ming just now, he instinctively caught her.

    His broad chest felt like a solid harbor, capable of sheltering her from wind and rain and bringing her endless security.

    The more Gu Meng thought about it, the more she felt Su Ming was good, at least much better than the scrawny, unappealing people around her.

    “Gu Meng, are you alright? Did you hit anything?”

    Just then, Qi Shen recovered and quickly asked with concern.

    “I’m fine.”

    Gu Meng replied very coldly.

    At this moment, the female attendants in the carriage also recovered. Some picked up their communicators to call the train conductor, while others began to comfort the uneasy passengers.

    “We are very sorry! Dear passengers, an emergency has suddenly occurred with the train. Is anyone injured? If so, please inform us immediately, and we will promptly attend to your injuries.”

    At this time, many passengers on the train, after a brief period of panic and unease, began to angrily curse.

    “How can no one be injured? My son’s head is bleeding profusely from the impact.”

    “Exactly! How are you driving this train? Are you trying to kill us? We must complain about you!”

    “Not only complain about you, but also demand compensation.”

    Suddenly, the entire carriage became very noisy, filled with accusations.

    However, just then, the carriage lights suddenly went out, leaving only the dim emergency lights on, and the light became darker.

    “What’s going on? Why did the lights go out?”

    “The air conditioning isn’t working either.”

    “It seems like there’s a power outage.”

    “Everyone, please calm down. We are already trying to contact the train conductor as quickly as possible. Please be patient.”

    The attendants tried their best to calm the panicked crowd.

    Su Ming heard this and immediately sat back down, waiting quietly.

    However, before the attendants could contact the train conductor, the temperature inside the carriage began to soar, becoming very stuffy and hot, and the air also became very turbid, making everyone extremely uncomfortable.

    “It’s so hot! I feel like I’m going to suffocate.”

    “No, we can’t stay on the train anymore, let’s go out.”

    “Yes, quickly open the train doors.”

    The people inside the carriage couldn’t stand it anymore; everyone was sweating profusely, and their breathing became very rapid.

    “Everyone, please calm down. We don’t know the situation outside right now. Going out rashly would be very dangerous.”

    The attendant wiped the sweat from her forehead and tried her best to persuade them.

    “We don’t know if it’s dangerous outside, but we know very well that if we stay in the carriage, we will definitely suffocate.”

    “Exactly!”

    Many students on the scene did not listen. Several students then ran to the carriage door.

    They pulled the emergency switch, but unfortunately, it wouldn’t budge.

    “It’s no good, it won’t open!”

    “The carriage door is deformed.”

    “Use the emergency hammer to break the window!”

    At this moment, several students shouted.

    Su Ming quietly watched them looking for an emergency hammer to break the window. Although the attendant’s warning was correct, the situation was unclear, and there might be danger outside.

    However, he did not object to breaking the window to get out, mainly because the carriage was too sealed, and so many people would have problems.

    Also, if there really was a monster, the carriage wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

    Crack!

    With a loud bang, the first window was broken open, and a wave of hot air immediately rushed in.

    “Quick, quickly climb out.”

    One by one, students climbed out.

    At this moment, more and more windows were broken open, and Su Ming immediately walked towards the broken window.

    Gu Meng saw Su Ming leave and immediately followed him.

    “Wait for me.”

    Qi Shen and Liu Xiao saw Gu Meng leave and quickly chased after her.

    Soon, Su Ming and the others climbed out of the train window and arrived in the dim tunnel.

    The entire tunnel was arched, with two tracks inside, and emergency walkways on both sides of the tunnel.

    Everyone climbed onto the emergency walkways on both sides.

    “Look at the front of the train!”

    At this moment, a student shouted in shock.

    Su Ming looked towards the front of the train and saw raging flames burning in the distance.

    He then followed the emergency walkway and walked towards the front of the train.

    Gu Meng saw this and closely followed Su Ming towards the front of the train. Qi Shen and Liu Xiao could only follow.

    Soon, Su Ming and the others arrived at the emergency walkway next to the front of the train. They saw many people gathered there, including Qin Feng and Yu Wei.
